Just to be clear, there is no ABI breakage -- there is much more stricter
adherence to standards (one might call it API breakage).  There was a
decicision by the GCC Steering Committee to not fix C++ ABI bugs between
3.2 and 3.3 by default.  One can use the most bug-free(ahearance) to the
C++ ABI standard using a commandline option.
